Weirdly enough I find that Firefox works better than Chrome with Hangouts a lot of the time

- wffurr 10y agoYeah Hangouts on Chrome forces webp, even if you have hardware h264 support, whereas Hangouts on Firefox / Safari will happily use your hardware h264 support. This is also why Macs get scorchingly hot when using Hangouts on Chrome.
- slhck 10y agoBy "webp", you mean VP9? But yes, it's generally Google forcing their own products, just like what they're doing with YouTube, where you also get VP9 on Chrome and H.264 on Firefox.
- vetinari 10y agoOr, you know, Apple could make available that VP9 hardware acceleration, that is present in the chips shipping in Macs. Firefox is getting H.264 only because it doesn't support MSE for VP9.
